colour_timeline
ActiveTool of Colour Memory
Given a concept or colour name, traces its documented appearances across cultures and centuries in chronological order. Returns a dated sequence of archive entries showing when and where the colour appeared, with primary sources. Use for historical research, provenance chains, and understanding why a colour carries the cultural weight it does. Example: 'indigo' traces from ancient Indian trade routes through Roman imports to Tudor sumptuary law to synthetic aniline displacement in 1897.
